About

A special, limited edition 2-Disc set (CD + DVD) in a 100-page deluxe hard cover CD-format booklet, containing some CD first releases – Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.5 and the Bach Double Violin Concerto (with Christian Ferras and Michel Schwalbé, never before released in any medium) – as well as the 1964 recording of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony.

The DVD contains highlights from the 2008 video releases described above, including opera scenes and excerpts from concert works by Leoncavallo, Suppé, Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, as well as a complete performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

This release includes a selected discography and many rare photographs.

"Karajan was a perfectionist for the voice and he and I had absolutely the same intention. This meant we were able to work very closely without having to rehearse for many days at a time. We understood each other incredibly. When he prepared a special sound in the orchestra, for me it was so easy to sing without any problem, because he created a perfect line of accompaniment." (Mirella Freni) (from Classic Record Collector, summer 2006)

"He was a tremendous conductor and the Berlin Philharmonic is not the same orchestra without him. He knew what he wanted and he really knew who did the work: the orchestra . . . He was very, very good with soloists. When he got into the concert hall it was magic." (James Galway)

"Herbert von Karajan is one of the most inspirational figures to me" (Lang Lang)
